The following is somewhat amusing - it is a class at my school with 3 sets of twins. Identical twins. Now, there are 24 people in each class, which means one quarter of this class are twins. Scary stuff.

Hmm OK, so THIS WEEK IN FAROE LIFE ...
Not overly much has happened, to be quite honest. Though last night I attended the 50th anniversary of AFS Føroyar which was good fun. I also set all of the 124 placings for it and decorated the tables. And played the piano as entertainment. But yeah, it was good fun. I met a lot of people who were returnees and going on exchange and one or two people who were actually going to New Zealand and all very excited about it. So that was really cool. Then they brought out a live band and we left at about 2AM. Oh, and 2 of the sets of twins in the photo above were waiting/waitressing. It was really funny - the guy set had to wear different ties so that everyone could tell them apart and one of the girl ones was wearing her hair up. It was still very confusing.
But yes, all very fun.
Daylight savings started here today so it will now be dark until about 10AM every morning. Very weird. School again tomorrow and I'm still not used to walking to school in the dark but I'll get over it, I'm sure. What's going to be very strange is walking home in the dark too - apparently that is coming soon but it's what they try to avoid as much as possible with the daylight savings (which seems silly in the Faroes as it gets so dark anyway and then it's light all night in the summer - why do they need it?!).
I met up with my contact person again last night, who has invited me to stay at her house next weekend on Vágar, another island which is really cute - it's where the airport is. So that will be fun. I look forward to it.
Anyhoo, I'd better head off. I've somehow been roped into helping with the clean-up from the AFS party last night ...

Hey chik, visited with Jenny Giljam today and showed her your blog and she is going to show it to Jess so expect a comment from them. Sounds cold, warming up here nicely.
Love mum xxx.

ah hey mum, it IS cold. I was on the verge of going running today and then changed my mind when I discovered it was a balmy 5 degrees outside.
But yeah, walked to school literally on ice on Tuesday. It was cold. Very cold.
